Bike Check

The riders aren’t the only ones subject to controls, their bikes are as well. On Saturday, the bikes from Jakob Fuglsang and Tanel Kangert (Astana), Daniele Bennati and Michael Rogers (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Damiano Caruso (BMC), were all subject to random bike controls. All bikes received the once-over before Sunday’s team time trial.

Fly away

Monday’s rest day will be celebrated in Pau, in southern France, nearly 700 km away from where the team time trial will be held on Sunday. The teams will be flown down in two separate flights.

The first plane leaves from Lorient at 17:15 Sunday afternoon, taking the teams from the earlier part of the TTT. The next flight goes an hour later, with the later-riding teams on board. The flights should only take about 50 minutes.
